Areas we cover
Almeria · Almería
Almería lives between the sea and the fields: the Centre and Nueva Almería are apartment blocks, Zapillo and Retamar are beach areas with seasonal homes, and Vega de Acá mixes houses with plots of land. Many families work in intensive agriculture or transport, with days that begin before dawn, and need someone to run the house and look after the children while they are away.

Indicative salary
€1,221–1,800. Gross per month in 14 payments for full-time; part-time is paid pro rata. Indicative amount, non-binding.
Full-time work is more common than in other provincial capitals, because families need cover from early morning into the afternoon. Fewer hours are also on offer in Zapillo and Retamar outside the season, when the area quiets down.
What the service includes
Garden and outdoor upkeep: pruning, irrigation, lawn, pool and seasonal plant care.
Before hiring, decide what is seasonal and what is weekly: pruning, irrigation, lawn and pool are not distributed the same way in winter and summer. In Almeria gardens in Centro and Zapillo usually need a fixed day plus an extra visit in spring, and that is what gets written down.
What we ask of the professional
Experience with Mediterranean gardens, basic machinery skills and availability by the day.
In Almeria we ask for experience with Mediterranean gardens and basic machinery; the work is spread between Centro and Zapillo, almost always in full days, and a driving licence makes the journeys much easier.
Legal framework
May be employed or paid per day; machinery work requires risk-prevention compliance.
In Almeria we support the family through the paperwork: we review the contract before it is signed and check that registration and contributions are up to date.
